We see everything ( or we thought we did !) . Yzf450 brought in purchased with apparently a full engine !! Take it easy he was told as it’s just had a rebuild . Well rebuilt engines always start easy . This one wouldn’t , and after investigation we decided stripping was only way . However a first for us , we found the cam chain guide fitted upside down ( we never knew that was possible ) . So the dreaded happened , as first signs didn’t look good !! When stripped old piston , barrel excessively worn , all 5 valves need replacing . Wrong head and base gasket fitted !!! So wrong conning buyers in our eyes . New graphics don’t mean a good bike !!! We’ll repair it properly obviously, but a bill the new buyer thought wouldn’t be needed . Wrong so beware , see proof and don’t get ripped off ! We rang owner to come look , they’ll have all old bits replaced returned . And receipt too .
